Year 9 Footy Codes Excursion
08 August
On Friday August 4, our Year 9 students participated in the Footy Codes experience with tours of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Sports Museum and Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI).
Footy Codes explores and executes movement skills from a games-based approach. Students learn the influences on movement including individual, task and environmental constraints on motor skill development for the football code activities. They analyse the various football codes to review the importance of skill frequencies, movement patterns, heart rates and work-to-rest ratios. In this subject, they will explore the football codes from a skill acquisition perspective and sports nutrition and its importance for athletic performance.
The group then headed to Marvel Stadium for an Australian Leagues Football (AFL) match between the Western Bulldogs and Richmond where they were lucky enough to get some pictures and autographs of the players before the match.
All who attended this great learning day agreed that it was a great experience.
